BARB has notified approximately 300 employees about potential layoffs due to ongoing financial difficulties. The studio's founder, Leslie Benzies, blamed these challenges on internal and external saboteurs, a sentiment shared previously by co-CEO Mark Gerhard. Gerhard suggested negative feedback before the launch of their game MindsEye was funded by an external source, implying involvement from Rockstar. Despite these challenges, Benzies expressed intentions to relaunch MindsEye, which may face difficulties in gaining traction considering its initial reception and the controversies surrounding its development.
"BARB workers posted on LinkedIn this week about receiving 'risk of redundancy' emails. Unfortunately, layoffs are par for the course these days."
"Benzies is said to have blamed BARB's and MindsEye's problems on internal and external saboteurs, echoing comments made by co-CEO Mark Gerhard."
